Hail To The King chords by Avenged Sevenfold

Guitar chords with lyrics

Note: (C#5) is one whole octave above C#5, i used the
brackets to differentiate between the two.

Let me know if there's any mistakes, it's very easy to get
chords mixed up when there's so many. The strumming pattern
is easy enough to work out from the song (but would take
forever to tab)
